Myanmar embassy urges undocumented citizens in US to leave voluntarily to avoid deportation

Myanmar citizens in the United States who are undocumented or illegally present should leave the country before they are deported, the Myanmar Embassy in Washington said on February 6.

The statement said that Myanmar citizens in the United States who are experiencing the expiration of their legal documents such as visas, for any reason, are being considered undocumented migrants and may be subject to deportation, so they should take steps to obtain residency through private programs.
